+# dlStream #
+
+Save video streams (like youtube videos) as `ogg` files. I may later add the
+ability to have the output format configurable; if I get some more time...
+
+``dlStream.py`` reads from stdin a line-space delineated list of URL's and
+file names to save, individually passes a stream to be saved to ``cvlc`` to
+have outputted to a file.
+
+## Example Source File ##
+
+    #url-to-stream file-name
+    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXEgk1Hdze0 wat.ogg
+    #Line to be ignored
+
+    #empty lines are ignored as well
